Hi All,

I recently got 2 donated monitors which are faulty:

1. DELL Ultrasharp monitor has issues on the bottom and right side of the monitor.
2. Samsung monitor screen somehow has it's top layer on the monitor peeling.

Does anyone know anywhere who will repair them for cheap or should I just discard them if the repairs is too expensive?

I'm looking for anyone to help repair them in the Klang Valley if possible.

As these are for charity, I cannot spend too much on the repairs as I also have allocated some monies to repair other devices.

Lulz monitor so cheap just buy new la

This

physical damage to the lcd usually hard to repair. most repairs are electronics side

check if its LED or CCFL based backlight lcd.
Older CCFL based is not worth repairing.

Yeah usually the repair cost is close to buying new so these shops dont repair because the customers rather buy new

Seriously no one repair monitor, especially screen problem.

Plaza imbi got …laptop & monitor normally i send to him for repair

New monitor, RM500, repair RM100, 200?

a used unit also won't cost much.

I understand new monitors do not cost much.

I'm looking to see if I can salvage these donated monitors for cheap since I already have them.

Can try asking Dj Krish. He might be able to help you.

the other day I saw one fella wanna sell old, problematic ghosted lcd 19 inch dell for rm100

crazy

Chip shortage. Somemore sayur sudah naik. Must increase price lor.

Both the symptoms you mention are faulty/ failed/ expired panels. Really not economical to repair.

ya lah

ALL IN SERBUK!

Just get a new one. Not worth to repair and it will spoil again.

TV repairman told me don't waste money to repair 5 year old TV.

K.I.T.T can do

I throw away 2 monitor screen. One is super old 2006 Samsung monitor, and another one is 2010 Dell monitor. Not worth time and money repairing this. The 2010 model I bought for RM260 in 2013 lmao imagine the repair cost.

The refurbish Dell monitor I bought also ended up faulty later so no point for repair.

If for charity then just donate.

Charity centers have volunteers who knows how to repair

You didnt try to DIY?

If your monitor has display problem like ghosting, polariser peeling then dont waste time fixing. However if there's just power supply issue, it could be an easy fix. I fixed a couple of office old LCD monitors just by replacing a bloated capacitor on the power supply board that only cost 1-2 ringgit.

Monitor suffer serious problems like dead pixels all over them anyway...

I actually scour for second hand goods or donated goods then refurbish them for the needy.

I got these monitors from others.

Have at least 400+ needy folks still on my list. Already handed out 46 laptops + desktops this year; bought some and some got donated to me.

In total donated more than 300+ over the last few years.

lai, come sponsor for needy folks. so cheap nia.

May i know which centre are you helping? I see if it's nearby

Mostly these are B40 or very needy persons.

I also have charity homes which I donate out laptops or desktops to.

Maybe let me know your location and the type of second items which you might have then if you wanna pass it personally, I'll give you some names and addresses.

Appreciate it, pisces88.

that's not donation, that's dumping. mana drillz?

better just send the monitor to those recycling center. maybe get few bucks donate to charity..

Drill of one of the monitor. The other one is in another storage.

I got one old samsung monitor, plug power nothing happen, power supply monitor upcars?

Not worth it, after you fix it soon the edge of LCD will bleed due to old age because I have a few of same model I bought for my office last time.

Even edge bleed also I buang, so I think if mine is serious case like yours I will buang and sepak sepak.

Sadly I have buang those, else I can give you and you do your own replacement experiment

Thanks guys.

If anyone here has spare laptops or desktops or stuff like monitors/printers/etc which are still functioning and not using, let me know.

I'd love to get them to needy people.

Just dismantle and see lor... mine all the old type, using psu type connector, hence power supply board inside the monitor. Not sure about yours. I also got one samsung spoilt monitor which I threw away because the capacitor cost like RM60 when I googled. The other that I fixed are mostly LG which uses cheapo smaller value capacitor.

Already collect dust on store
Power brick outside one, power plug in is round port like modem router

1) what issues ? If panel issue (pixel) then better to get new one. Nowadays there is also glass shortage in all the panel manufacturer.

2) top layer peel off ? Discard ba ...

Either way the internals can be salvaged if need be

But the panel might as well throw ba

Buy new panel from taobao and install

Take multimeter and check each cap got short or not

Turn on power and check voltage of each cap

Use reverse diode method check all the component on power rails

Should be able to isolate the component
